E-recruitment is an umbrella term for any electronic-based recruiting and recruitment management activity. It is the practice of using technology and in particular web-based resources for tasks involved with finding, attracting, assessing, interviewing and hiring new personnel.

Digital recruitment occurs when a company uses social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to bring in the very best talent within the industry for their open jobs.

Recruitment marketing is the strategies and tactics an organization uses to find, attract, engage and nurture talent before they apply for a job, called the pre-applicant phase of talent acquisition.
